Awesome Albums: QL17G-iii #4 - Railways by bebopbebop

Today's featured awesome album is another set of wanderlust-inducing monochromes, especially for those who enjoy long yet scenic train rides.

“I like trains. I like their rhythm, and I like the freedom of being suspended between two places, all anxieties of purpose taken care of: for this moment I know where I am going.” ― Anna Funder, Stasiland: Stories from Behind the Berlin Wall

Our fellow lomographer bebopbebop from Bandung, Indonesia simply put the quote above as the description for his album of interesting railway snaps, and it fits quite perfectly. We’re sure many of us in the community share this love of trains and railway travel — there’s something undeniably relaxing with long and scenic train rides. The shots by our fellow lomographer, though, show us that the railroads and stations themselves also make interesting backdrops and settings for some visual storytelling.

I was instantly reminded of this beautiful song by Feist and Ben Gibbard entitled Train Song; you may also want to listen to it while flipping through today’s awesome album!

You might remember experimental philosopher Jonathon Keats for the CenturyCamera, his ambitious project which involved installation of 100 ultra-long-exposure cameras in and around Berlin, Germany "to continuously document 100 years of municipal growth and decay for scrutiny and judgment by future generations" between 2014 and 2114. But today, Keats goes a step further and begins yet another groundbreaking and unprecedented project with the Millennium Camera.

In December last year James Wright, editor and creative director of So It Goes Magazine, went on a two-week trip to Sri Lanka, "a place so long on our bucket list, but up until then, as yet unvisited," he writes on the first of his three-part photo diary.
